Hi,

I have been on the Atkins diet for about 3 weeks now. I keep my carbs around 25 gms right now. I started at 177 and dropped to 162 really fast. I got on the scales the other day and had gained 3 pounds and I hadn't changed anything. I also stalled at about 2 weeks an didn't lose anything for 3 days. I do allow for water weight. Is this normal. I also use the Ketostix and I stay around the third and fourth color and occasionlly pop to the fifth. Is this normal? It is really depressing to lose and then gain it back .....

Thanks,
Nana
